Proper way to leave a dungeon?

[Bixby]

While your statement is certainly valid, I thought that party members were still there if they DC'd

Are they? I've been DC'ed myself a handful of times, but never thought to ask what it looked like. I've never had someone else DC on me, but I figured it was like XI, where they're there for a while, but then disappear after a minute or so.

I DC'ed once (even though I was wired -_-) and when I logged back in I was still in the instance. My party only a minute or two ahead of me. Same happened with story mode. I got kicked during a cut scene (because of most recent maintenance) and when I came back the scene just restarted.
